OK so I still seem to be coping. Mostly. I'm not entirely sure how but I seem to be getting through this. Lots of tears which are to be expected

I helped with a lot of the same when my grandfather passed away, and I'm glad you were able to have a wee smidge of downtime in there. Speaking from experience, that's crucial, and not having any isn't something I'd wish on my worst enemy.
Good thoughts for your week. And for your doctor's appointment. Hope your long weekend to work on things bears much fruit!
You know, the other day when you wrote about your mother passing, you wrote in a way that seemed (to me) to be very formal and orderly - I need to do this, I need to do that. That breakdown is coming, and it will be OK. Once all the administrative stuff is in order, you won't have something immediate to keep at task. The breakdown will happen, and it will be OK. You can do this. And when you mourn your mother and think you can't do this, you will find that you can, and it will be OK. Lots of hugs from all of us, honey.
You'll get through this {{ hugs }} just take it a day at a time. Everything will pass, and it gets easier as time goes on. I know that sounds like a platitude but it really is true, I've been there. There will be times when you'll cry, and feel as though it can never get better, and there' ll be times when your brain just freezes up and you can't think - perfectly natural reaction to the stress you're going through. But it WILL get better, I swear. Hang in there.
You can definitely do this - don't push yourself too much to do things in the 'right' way or anything because there is no right way to deal. It's great you've got friends making the effort for you so don't be afraid to lean on them. *hugs*
